Finding Cheer on an Overcast Day

 

I went out to Ocean Beach in San Francisco on an overcast, dreary day and my mood sparked up. Something about listening to power of the waves and just watching them gave me strength and hope:

And I need to get better on my YouTube shorts

Going out  to any body of water makes me feel better about what is going on and gives me new life. A big THANK YOU to any one who has spent one second on my dribble in 2024 and blessings to you in 2025. 

Music Monday: The Last One in 2024 and You Are Listening Live

 More of some of the music I recorded at different events in 2024 for the last Music Monday in 2024. Hoping that 2025 brings more opportunities to record more music:

I would like to say a big THANK YOU for listening to my music selections over the last year. I wish everyone here a Happy and Safe 2025 and many blessings.

Japanese Prints in the Meiji Era

 

The Legion of Honor in San Francisco recently had an exhibit called "Japanese Prints in Transition". They were prints from the Meiji Era (1868-1912). The Meiji Era was the bridge between the Feudal Japan and the modern era:

It was really cool to see how Japan was changing during this time through the art. 

Views From My School

 In the spirit of the season, I was doing some thinking and I am really lucky to have the views from the middle school that I teach at. It is located on a hill and even though it is foggy most of the time, when we get clear days the views are amazing:

It is nice to see and can be really peaceful at times

A Surprise Park Walk

 

I was walking near the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco and I saw a park that was lit up. I guess Park and Rec decided to light it up for the holiday:

It was a cool surprise to see this park all lit up like that.
